Frequently Asked Questions

How does the auto-moist feature work?
The Thermophore pad draws moisture naturally from the air and from contact with the skin as it heats up, delivering moist heat without requiring any added water or wet towels. The result is deep, penetrating moist heat therapy with no preparation required.

Which size should I choose?
Choose based on the area you want to treat. The Petite (4 x 17 in) is ideal for the neck, shoulder, or knee. The Medium (14 x 14 in) suits targeted areas. The Standard and Plus Large (both 14 x 27 in) cover the full back. The Large MaxHeat (14 x 27 in) provides the same coverage with enhanced heat output.

Can the cover be washed?
Yes. The flannel cover is machine washable. Remove the cover before washing and allow it to dry completely before reattaching and using the pad.

How do I control the heat?
The pad uses an on/off momentary switch — hold the switch to apply heat and release to turn it off. The pad turns off automatically when the switch is released, which also serves as a built-in safety feature.
